This is not just a simple talk, this is historical document. One can be more intellectually enriched by these two hours than whole college course about politics. Thank you Indian Express. And thank you Mr. Pratap Bhanu Mehata, for all your writing and this talk.
this mind set is called feudalist!! yes he is best and very much ideological-intellectual( which i like reading and listening him very much) and less factual and insight full.
Pratap is no ordinary political thinker and he certainly has deep insights into whatever he talks about. The audience in this conversation was equally enlightened which is a rarity these days so far as television debates are concerned.
It is sad that there are some biased reactions to Mehta. He is highly educated in political science from Harvard and is highly respected for his opinions not based on personalities but principles. His opinions cannot be taken as criticisms but principles which are above any personality. Young minds need to know these principles to understand the policies of our Govt. He has equally criticised policies of UPA govt!,,
Harvard returned doesn't necessarily means he thinks in interest of India. Collective intellect of indian people in choosing it's govt is much better than intellect of this random nutty proffessors
@@satyavvduddu7105 that statement can bring comfort to people like u. Democracy is one of the major reason for the deteriorated condition of India, so collective intellect!! Read books before chucking conjectures.
The journalists bashed Modi and generally entire right wing for 70 years. There is no effective opposition to Modi or BJP. So energies are directed towards journalists, academics and similar one,
Yeah he did. He is a hopeful person. He Hopes for good but once he see it isn't being done, he criticizes, like any intellectual should. He is one amongst the sharpest brains we have amongst us.🌸
when challenged, right wing diverts, abuses and trolls..he should have done that possibly for off course indians of today prefer that over being accepting of a challenging view!!
Bhaisahab Assan bhasha mein bol do. stop blurting out academic jargons. This has been the weakness of the so called liberals . To communicate to people you have to talk in their language IE simple and effective. Then you will have a more interested audience. The earlier you realise that, better for the country . Speak against the ideology but don't delegitimise the public sentiments.
He presents facts accurately and then starts intellectually masturbating with the facts vigorously with his skewed lens and rarely Cums to any value add assertions! ( Pun intended) Facts theek hai , Theory theek hai , Laws keh explanations theek hai but Tu kehna Kya Chahta hai Pratap ?? :P
This guy himself derives his authority from the degrees he got from Princeton etc and now he is saying Modi is hankering after international acceptance.
U ppl are it seems not taking pragmatic views..... scholar are just good at giving so called scholarly idea not practical just like-- have anywhere across the India seen IITias IIMite becoming wealthiest person ... No ... It is Ambani,Mittal, Anil Agrawal or Jackma Bill gets and SCHOLARS OF IIT IIM MIT are working for them Same is Difference between MODI and BHANU PRATAP THE SCHOLAR
To refer to him as an intellect is not accurate. Shashi Tharoor, Mani Shankar Aiyar, Natwar Singh, etc. are intellects. He has surely been at good universities but that does not necessarily always create an intellect, He has one great advantage that he is strongly backed by the Jews thus is made to look great. He is just a mediocre person and an opportunist.
Typical Delhi "sab janta wallah". Lacks depth of knowledge in anything, but has a comment on everything. Jugaad Capital is full of these touch-me-for-a-comment types. But they have one thing their compatriots in other cities don't. Binoculars. They view the whole world through Binoculars from vantage points in Lutyen's and then, abracabadra gillee gilleee....you have a public intellectual.
*Lacks depth of knowledge in anything, but has a comment on everything.* Good description of your comment. On a slightly related note, what feature/s of a person's worldview would, in your opinion, indicate they have *not* constructed it from an sterile academic perspective?
Deny academic traps & blind spots and focusing on completely new ways of doing things we take for granted like Money creation & optimal distribution, role of state & it's limitations etc.

Thank you Indian Express. And thank you Mr. Pratap Bhanu Mehata, for all your writing and this talk.
Hyperbole!! But that's ok in this case!👍
You must be a college student
this mind set is called feudalist!! yes he is best and very much ideological-intellectual( which i like reading and listening him very much) and less factual and insight full.
what he said about modi has already been said for Vajpayee but nothing happened now so called liberal seems t like him now!!
Such a great intellectual i can listen him whole day

The best writer I have ever known!! Thanks for this conversation!
Thanks for the full video IE...👍
Excellent discussion....facts expressed with clarity.
I admired his knowledge.
Very educative talk 🙏
He is always awesome.
Thank you so much..for full video ..love you guys
Good .Indian express continues to raise the flag shri Ramnath Goenks held so high!
Thank you, Mr Pratap Mehta for believing in 'liberal' society.
What he said is coming true today
The journalists bashed Modi and generally entire right wing for 70 years. There is no effective opposition to Modi or BJP. So energies are directed towards journalists, academics and similar one,
Didn't Mr. Mehta support Modi before 2014 ? I remember very well that he did
Nope, always a critical of him
Even if he did, its never too late to change the opinion for best. That's what we need to do. Think what's right and what's wrong.
No harm when we find he is not doing anything he promised the ordinary people..
Yeah he did. He is a hopeful person. He Hopes for good but once he see it isn't being done, he criticizes, like any intellectual should. He is one amongst the sharpest brains we have amongst us.🌸
anyone watching this in 2021?
When challenged, he completely agrees to opposing viewpoints as he knows that his biases are unjustifiable and irrational
when challenged, right wing diverts, abuses and trolls..he should have done that possibly for off course indians of today prefer that over being accepting of a challenging view!!
He’s a true liberal, rare species these days but one question what is Swara doing there 😂
This guy was VC of Ashoka University established by infamous industrial family of Jindal s who were mired in coal scam during UPA 2 rule.
That's Jindal University ...for Ashoka University many founders were there about 300 members

One of the greatest Intellectuals..

Can anyone ask this person, who forced kashmiri pundits to leave their homeland in 1990 and why?
You can write to him on his twitter...he might actually engage you.
Comment section is so effing legit lit. 🙈👻🔥👏🌙✨
Incisive and erudite. Clearly, this man gets to the bottom of things. Thank you for sharing!
This guy himself derives his authority from the degrees he got from Princeton etc and now he is saying Modi is hankering after international acceptance.
He quoted on one French author as if it clinched some point since the French guy said it.
Coming here after his resignation from Ashoka. To know what the hype is about...😅
Caution: People with suicidal tendencies should not watch this video.

He got a PhD from Princeton and so we have to endure his biases and prejudices with bated breath.
No, you can choose not to see the video.

Wow for him caste politics is liberal project.
प्रताप जलेबी मास्टर है. कल मैंने indian ...adda मैं रुचिर शर्मा को सुना था बहुत साफ बोलते हैं प्रताप जी उतना ही बोरिंग
Comment master free me comment de rahe hain
What he is saying.. I think even he will not be able to understand after the show what he said there
I agree... You need some education for that I think...

Extremely poor English as well. Poor oratory as well close to illiterates such as Modi though subtly.
Very vague talk. He thinks he is the God who only knows the truth. A bigot with a bloated ego. He thinks India will collapse if he drops dead.
Good English, No Content.

The malicious east mathematically tease because composer perioperatively unlock vice a mundane ray. tremendous, ill-informed ease
Very boring. . Right and deligitimise only two words he speak.
Another academic scholar with nearly no ground knowledge. Superficial intellectual blabber only.
